RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — A North Carolina man who drove his car into a group of migrant workers in a Walmart parking lot has turned himself in to police. The Lincolnton Police Department arrested 68-year-old Daniel Gonzalez on Monday night and charged him with a felony hit-and-run. His family members told detectives that Gonzalez had hit the gas pedal accidentally while trying to park his SUV at the Lincolnton Walmart and left the scene in a panic. The motives of the driver are still under investigation. The victims were treated at a local hospital for their injuries. All six were released late Sunday.
